The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity.
Jimmy Carter
Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.
Sydney J. Harris
One has the right to be wrong in a democracy.
Claude Pepper
Corruption is nature's way of restoring our faith in democracy.
Peter Ustinov
The history of our country is not the history of any other country in the world which is either practicing advanced democracy or struggling to lay the foundation for democracy.
Ibrahim Babangida
The challenge as we saw in the Nigerian project was to restructure the economy decisively in the direction of a modern free market as an appropriate environment for cultivation of freedom and democracy and the natural emergence of a new social order.

Norman Mailer
Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions - it only guarantees equality of opportunity.

Louis D. Brandeis
Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.
Rick Perry
I have made a film about jazz that tries to look through jazz to see what it tells us about who we are as a people. I think that jazz is a spectacularly accurate model of democracy and a kind of look into our redemptive future possibilities.
Ken Burns
As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level.
Paul Wellstone
We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for, and that is, freedom, democracy and the fight against disease, poverty and terrorism.
Madeleine Albright
The Communists automatically violated the daily practices of democracy to which I was accustomed.
Elia Kazan
